Is it possible to have a showroom account (i.e. demon control name servers,
mx records etc) and redirect http requests to a ip number outside of demon.

I have a client who currently has a SDU + surftime and their main domain
hosted elsewhere. I have advised them that with the amount of email they are
getting they really should use smtp delivery and transfer their domain to
demon. However they have a contract with another company to provide a
(complex) web site which would not run on demon's commercial webspace. Also
the client is not very "technical".

I would have thought best solution would be to move the client's domain to
demon (for email and ease of administration), but get demon's nameservers to
point to the ip address of their website. Is this possible?

Also given that they will have a fixed IP and a nearly always on connection
would it be possible to amend the mx records to point to the client's fixed
ip address (with the normal demon punts as backups)? Would there be any
advantage in doing this?
